I wake up every mornin' Lord and what do I see. I got a fool in my mirror and he's lyin' to me. He says aw man she's comin' back. You just hide and watch.
Who walked out when the times got hard. When the truck broke down in the whole front yard. It wasn't me, it wasn't you. Who shot pool all night long. Wound up bettin' on the crack of dawn.
Flee as a bird to your mountain. Thou who are weary of sin. Go to the clear flowing fountain. Where you may wash and be clean. . Fly for the adventure is near thee.
The say nothin` lasts forever. Honey, I've got good news. Whoever said that. Never got the blues from you. . This cloud I'm under. Looks like it's gonna stay.
Her birthday came and went without a card, or a single i love you. On their anniversary she sat all alone at a table set for two. She tries her best to please him, but she never hears one single word of praise.
He asked her to dance three songs ago. Now she pulls him closer as the music slows. The lights are growin` dim it's just her and him and the band. Funny, I used to love this song.
FINDING YOU. Tom Russell. They are blessing the animals in the old Cathedral square. Tonight theyll bless the shoeshine boys,. And baby Ill be there. For I need all the blessings to keep this heart at home.
There's a well beaten path in the old mountainside. Where I wandered when I was a lad. And I wandered alone to the place I call home. In those Blueridge hills far away.
Tis sweet to be remembered on a bright or gloomy day. Tis sweet to be remembered by a dear one far away. Tis sweet to be remembered remembered remembered.
Four strong winds that blow lonely seven seas that run high. All these things that don't change come what may. But my good times are all gone and I'm bound for moving on.
If I was on some foggy mountain top. I'd sail away to the west. I'd sail all around this whole wide world. To the girl, I love the best. . If I had listened to what Mama said.
The last time I thought about leavin'. Was the last time I made her cry. I talked myself out of believin'. That true, true love never dies. . The first time I thought of returnin'.
Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk about. Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no doubt. But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground.
Sadness just makes me sigh,. I've come to say goodbye,. Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues.. Those farewell blues make me yearn,. That parting kiss seems to burn..
A lock of your hair and a faded red ribbon is all I have left to remind me of you. A lock of your hair and a faded red ribbon is all I have left of a love we once knew.
Sadness just makes me sigh,. I've come to say goodbye,. Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues.. Those farewell blues make me yearn,. That parting kiss seems to burn..
